I took a gander at Fat Sam's coaching record, as I couldn't recall his managerial accomplishments. Surely someone who won't shut the fuck up about how splendid of a manager he is would have something to show for it over 25 years of management. A cup maybe? Decent winning percentage?
He got two teams promoted from the Champo in 11 years. Career 39.4% winning percentage, lower than Pardew's even.
